I like the ideas of both animegirl and despin, would be a different spin off the norm. Whoever mentioned doing anime off of old school movies and shows has a great idea. While using old ideas it would be using new concepts. One, to me anyway, that would be awesome is an anime crossover to make the western gunslinger movie "the good, the bad, and the ugly." The crossover possibilities could endless and you could even switch them out through the course of the movie to make a mash up. This can be done with old school martial arts films out of Japan as well, would say China too but that is still a sore subject just like WWII is.

I'm about to lay down some awesome fresh ideas so put on your goggles the wind will be unbearable with all these revolutionary topics.

So we start off with our male main character. He is useless in every way and completely incompetent. Just when he thinks his life can't get any worse a beautiful young lady shows up and changes his life.
Then after we build up the story and character development we introduce a new female character, then we subsequently add more each episode for about 4 episodes. They will all have a burning desire to become the mate of the main character. None of them will actually stand a chance with him because first come first serve.

There can be an overarching villain who will try to spread misfortune throughout the land and they will have uncontrollable godlike powers. The gang will be able to take them down in the end though because no evil can triumph over the power of Japanese high school students.

Also there will be many revolutionary plot devices they will mostly be made up of panty shots, accidental falling on top of the mc and hotspring/bath scenes many of them. Oh and just when you think there will be a intimate moment of kissing it will be interrupted at the last second.
Yes i know some call me a genius others call me a prodigy.

Will probably make this into a game with my pals, but I do have an idea

A young French WW1 soldier runs away from a losing battle in which he watches his own comrades slaughtered (Thought about having this city be Ypres). Without direction and fear of his own life from the enemy hands and his own country's hands if they found out he deserted his fellow soldiers to save his own life, he travels for a week before coming onto a small settlement. Hungry and weakened, he tries to steal bread from the bakery only to have his clock cleaned (he got beat up). Out from that same bakery comes a plain girl whom offers him the same bread he tried to take and offers him temporary shelter inside their bakery. The young soldier hastily agrees and joins them, thus beginning the soldiers tale as he comes to become part of the family, conquers the consequences of his actions and finds his own meaning to life.

Don't get the wrong impression. It's not exactly a romance, especially if I'm the one writing it. It's a story about specifically the soldier and his journey of self discovery and closure.

Its about a masked assassin that has lost his memory. He doesn't particularly like killing people, but he's good at it for some reason. The city that he lives in attracts all kinds of powerful people, so he never really has to go overseas. When not killing people, he is the nice, quiet, and somewhat dim-witted young man. He develops a relationship with a detective who is trying to find out the assassin's identity. The is a very fierce woman, and their personalities balance out. The assassin is pretty chill, laid back, and nice. The detective is feisty, sarcastic, and is only nice to people she knows. Their relationship doesn't sit well with the detective's partner, who is in love with her., and is VERY hostile to the assassin. At the same time, two people claiming that they know the assassin show up, one male and one female. The male claims to be his brother, and the female claims to be his lover. The brother is really laid back like the assassin, and the lover is psychotic. She tries to kill every one in contact with the assassin; the detective, a little girl he is friends with,everyone. They were part of a military experiment to produce killing machines (not very original).

I mostly want it to focus on the assassin and the detective. How deep their love is, and how painful it is for the assassin to fight her. And how the lover desperately wants him, an her hatred of the detective. Lots of action. Lots of romance. Not a lot of comedy. When I say assassin I'm not talking Agent 47 or Golgo 13. I'm talking sword swingin', gun toting, kung-fu fighting, Kill Bill style assassins.
